Hello,

I noticed that on Heygen's web version, it is possible to create a Talking Photo Avatar. However, when reviewing the API, it seems that this feature is not available in the same way—only Create Avatar Videos, which use Hyperealistic videos and are more resource-intensive.

The issue we encountered is that the "photo looks" are not listed as Photo Avatar IDs like the Hyperealistic videos. Instead, they appear under a different endpoint: "Talking Photo Avatar", which only allows adding motion and sound effects to an image, rather than dynamically generating a speaking avatar from text input.

According to the documentation (Add Motion and Sound Effects to Your Photo Avatar), this means that we cannot provide text input to generate speech through this API. Could you confirm if there is an alternative way to achieve this or if this feature is planned for future updates?

Thank you in advance for your insights.

Best regards,
